The Elements of Style (Classic Reprint): An Introduction to Literary Criticism (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
PREFACE
This book will, I hope, speak for itself; and, in any case, it is not, I tltmW> :J$g£y to be assisted by any prefatory words, whether of recommendation or deprecation. But I take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude to many givers of help, criticism, and encouragement; especially to Mr. Sidney Smith, B.A., late Scholar of Queen's College, Cambridge, whose help was invaluable at various stages of the work; and to Mr. J. H. Fowler, of Clifton College, who very kindly read the proofs and made suggestions, most of which I have gladly followed. I wish also to thank my publishers, to whom I owe the index, as well as the analytical table of contents in its present form.

West Hayes, Winchester. September 1915.
